Water; Its Purity and Impurity

وَ سُئِلَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ بِئْرٍ اُسْتُقِيَ مِنْهَا فَتُوُضِّئَ بِهِ وَ غُسِلَ بِهِ اَلثِّيَابُ وَ عُجِنَ بِهِ ثُمَّ عُلِمَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِيهَا مَيْتَةٌ فَقَالَ «لاَ بَأْسَ وَ لاَ يُغْسَلُ اَلثَّوْبُ مِنْهُ وَ لاَ تُعَادُ مِنْهُ اَلصَّلاَةُ.
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام was asked about a well from which water was drawn for ablution, washing clothes, and kneading dough, and then it was discovered that there was a dead animal in it. Imam عليه السلام said: "There is no harm, and the clothes do not need to be washed again, nor does the prayer need to be repeated”.
